I have a few more games that I need to blog about before I'm all caught up and continue playing my association. However, I've decided to break it up and highlight the morale of my players with this entry. Here is what it looks like through 23 games.

Rudy Fernandez, SF
Morale: Thrilled
Role: Starter - Your position as a starter is guaranteed.
Agent: Everything going on within the organization has made Rudy very happy.

Dirk Nowitzki, PF
Morale: Thrilled
Role: Starter - I want you to be the star of this team.
Agent: Nowtizki is enjoying his time with your organization.

James Posey, SF
Morale: Content
Role: Sixth Man - We need you to bring some energy off the bench
Agent: From what I can tell, James is OK with everything going on in this organization.

C.J. Miles, SG
Morale: Delighted
Role: Starter - You're replaceable if an upgrade comes along
Agent: The playing time and role of my client suits him perfectly.

Rasheed Wallace, PF
Morale: Overjoyed
Role: Starter - Your position as a starter is guaranteed.
Agent: Congratulations on running such a high class organization. Wallace couldn't be happier.

Rafer Alston, PG
Morale: Overjoyed
Role: Starter - You're replaceable if an upgrade comes along.
Agent: It's too bad that more organizations didn't handle their players like this one. Alston couldn't complain about anything even if he wanted to.

Yakhouba Diawara, SF
Morale: Content
Role: Role Player - We need your versatility off the bench; playing time will be very sporadic.
Agent: There hasn't been much for my client to complain about recently, but more playing time is always nice.

Sergio Rodriguez, PG
Morale: Content
Role: Role Player - Your minutes will be limited, but you will get a chance.
Agent: Rodriguez's role and playing time are up to his standards.

Rodney Carney, SF
Morale: Anxious
Role: Bench Warmer - Playing time will be very limited.
Agent: My client feels like his talent should get him an improved role and a few more minutes each game.

Sun Yue, PG
Morale: Upbeat
Role: Bench Warmer - You will only see playing time if we get hit by injuries.
Agent: Sun isn't unhappy about anything right now within the organization.

Julius Hodge. SG
Morale: Thrilled
Role: Bench - We need you to fill out the roster.
Agent: You've done a great job giving Julius everything he needs to be happy.

Etan Thomas, C
Morale: Content
Role: Role Player - Our young players need a mentor; playing time will be limited.
Agent: Right now my client isn't overly pleased or upset with anything going on in this organization.

Leon Powe, PF
Morale: Uncertain
Role: Sixth Man - You will have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself
Agent: For now, the only thing Powe is worried about is getting more PT. Can you help him out?

Chris Anderson, C
Morale: Uneasy
Role: Role Player - We need energy and depth off the bench.
Agent: My client really feels like he should be playing a couple of minutes each game.

NOTES
- Rodney Carney got injured early in the season so we got into a rhythm without him in the lineup. He's shown flashes of decent play when he's been in, but not enough for me to think about upping his minutes a lot.

- Leon Powe is my boy. He always gives me quality minutes off the bench. I'm going to make sure he gets more time.

- I like Chris Anderson, but I don't see him getting a lot of PT unless we're up big or somebody gets hurt. He should just shut his mouth and ride the bench.
